Hello, I’m Scout! A 1.5 year old, 28 pound Duck Toller/Carolina Dog mix. I know it is very easy to think that I am a handsome man… but I need to apologize for my appearance. I’m too skinny and really need to gain some weight. It wasn’t my fault… I was part of a cruelty and abandonment case with a bunch of my friends. But now that we are around people who care about us a whole lot more, things are really looking up! I’m very food motivated. I enjoy all types of soft food, hard food, treats, fruit, and most importantly, bananas! If you share one, I’m be your best friend. Don’t worry I am certain I will become a healthy weight real fast.
Don’t let my history fool you. Despite having a difficult start to life, I know how to be happy and enjoy myself. I’m excited for this new beginning and I love meeting new people. I am learning I can finally be my true friendly self. I’m super playful so if you would like to play fetch or run around the backyard with a few toys, I’m your guy. But I have to say I do also really enjoy just relaxing with you, especially if you’re willing to provide a belly rub. It’s funny because I haven’t walked much on a leash my whole life, but my new friends here are telling me that I learn so fast because I don’t pull them along at all. I just follow wherever they want me to go is fine. Exploring is fun if I’m with you! And you will never believe this; I’ve only been here two days, but I’ve already learned some basic commands like sit and paw. Check the proof below if you don’t believe me! I’m so excited to continue to learn and grow and enjoy every single day. I truly believe every day is a gift. So let’s have fun!
